Digging Around: 99 Reasons Why

Adelaide band. Broke up 2003ish.

Just a quickie post this evening because it's getting to my bedtime... I stumbled across this band and their impending reformation gig tonight, and was enamoured enough to post a bunch of YouTube links to their songs (it seems to be the only way of accessing much of their material without resorting to dodgy forum and blog posts...) There's scant information on them on the internet (such as their Discogs entry, which only lists a few apparent comp appearances), a J-play page, and this Tripod band history page. Oh yeah, they were interviewed in Issue #7 of Beanz Baxter. Nice melodic hardcore that just about slots into the desired emo paradigm.

Stay tuned for when I can actually dig up some releases...


Actually stuff linking all of those videos, just use the playlist I made here.

UPDATE: Oh, looks like someone HAS uploaded their back catalogue onto SoundCloud. Well, excuse me. Here's aforementioned tracks, converted to mp3 and sorted into zip files.

99 Reasons Why (1998) - 99 Reasons Why

This Is Not My Beautiful Life (1999) - 99 Reasons Why

Careful What You Wish For (2003) - 99 Reasons Why
